ᐅ Kitchen countertop made from screed panels?

I have designed a kitchen and want to build most of it myself.
My problem is the countertop, as it is quite complex. I will either build the substructure using pre-wall elements or masonry, depending on what works best. The countertop cannot be brought into the room as one piece, and a chipboard countertop doesn’t make sense since the left side would have to be made from three separate parts. So, I thought about modeling it on site using screed panels, 20 mm (0.8 inches) thick in two layers, and then covering it with ceramic tiles or granite.
Is this a practical approach?
Best regards, Thielemann

ok
Just a silly question, you have so many different tomatoes in your avatar, mine are tiny but taste fantastic. Would there be a way to exchange seeds? I also have some very old bean varieties that are very special to me.

Well, you’re really going full throttle, my grandmother would have said.

I only asked about tomatoes and like to grow heirloom varieties in my garden because it’s not small, and I’m not focused on high yields. I prefer a bit less but of good quality! I also like to know that what I eat has grown completely free of chemicals. Tomatoes and beans are what I especially enjoy, but more generally, I think it’s important to preserve heirloom varieties.

That’s a variety I no longer have – the harvest was two years ago.
Now I only grow Marzano.

What does your wife think about your DIY kitchen? In general, I think a self-built kitchen can be really cool if it’s modern, but what you’re planning is so 80s. If I were your wife, you would definitely get a big, firm “No No Never” from me.
